You've misquoted someone to further your own goals. If Fedora put out production only code, I would say that the entire Linux community would suffer. Ubuntu aims to put out production only code. As such, they do very little for the community except make Ubuntu "cool". You'll see that there are a lot of bug reports on that ksnyapics issue in Ubuntu -- which means that they too shipped Ksnyaptics, which also points out that they dont' do dev work on the software either. -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com ) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
